NMI functionality An NMI crash dump enables administr ators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debug mechanisms. Crash dump log analysis is an e ssential part of diagnosing reliabili ty problems, such as hangs in operating systems, device driver s, and applications. Many crashe s freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle th e system power. Resetting the system erases any information that could support pro
